Introduction
Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci has recovered more than $450 million for clients injured in accidents throughout Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The firm operates from two offices: one in Springfield and one in Joplin: with a combined attorney team carrying over 140 years of legal experience. Founding partner Roger Alan Johnson has received the Thomas G. Strong Award from the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys (2015), holds a Fellowship in the American College of Trial Lawyers, and carries an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest available designation from that credentialing organization.
The firm provides free initial consultations and collects no fees until a case is won.
Practice Areas
Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci handles serious personal injury and workers’ compensation matters with particular depth in catastrophic and complex cases.
Motor vehicle collisions:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Train accidents
Additional practice areas:
- Pedestrian accidents
- Catastrophic injury
- Medical malpractice (including birth injuries)
- Dangerous property conditions
- Workers’ compensation
- Brain injuries
- Spine and nerve injuries
- Orthopedic injuries
The firm’s inclusion of birth injuries under medical malpractice, and its separate identification of brain injuries, spine and nerve injuries, and orthopedic injuries, reflects a practice oriented toward cases with significant long-term medical and financial consequences. Train and bus accidents are less commonly handled by personal injury firms and signal experience with complex multi-party liability matters.

Client Focus
Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci’s four-state geographic footprint reflects the firm’s capacity to handle cases in the jurisdictions that intersect at Missouri’s southern and western borders. Clients from Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Kansas who are injured in cross-state accidents, or who have legal claims that span state lines, have access to a firm with admitted attorneys across these jurisdictions.
The no-fees-until-winning model ensures that clients with serious injuries are not required to produce legal fees at a time when they are likely dealing with medical expenses and lost income. Free initial consultations allow prospective clients to understand their rights and the strength of their claim before committing to representation.
With nine attorneys and a combined total exceeding 140 years of firm experience, the team has sufficient depth to manage complex multi-defendant cases, including those involving commercial carriers, medical providers, and property owners simultaneously.
